The main advantage is that these clipless pedals (d) prevent your feet from slipping

off when pedalling fast. They enable you not only to push but also to pull the pedals.

This makes your pedalling more smooth and increases the power transmission

compared to normal pedals.

The usual way to engage with the pedal is to turn it from the lowest position of the

crank to the horizontal using the tip of the cleat and push down on the back of it.

Normally, the shoe engages with the pedal with a click which you will hear and feel

clearly.

The release force of clipless pedals is adjusted by means of an Allen key (e). At the

beginning the setting should allow an easy release. Once you have more practice, you

can tighten the setting.

If there are any creaking or squeaking noises, which occur, some grease will solve the

problem in most cases. These noises as well as lateral play of the shoe on the pedal

can, however, also be signs of wear. Check the cleats at regular intervals.

DANGER!

Make sure the fastening bolts of the cleats are properly tightened, as you will find it

almost impossible to disengage your shoe from the pedal if the cleat is loose. Risk

of falling!

DANGER!

Taking up the pedals, engaging and disengaging the shoes should first be

practised when stationary (f). Later on you can refine your technique in a place

clear of traffic.

DANGER!

Only use clipless pedals allowing you to engage and disengage smoothly. A

defective pedal or a badly worn cleat can make the shoe disengage from the pedal.

Or unclipping the shoe from the pedal is sometimes very difficult or even impossible. In

both cases there is the danger of a fall!

CLOTHING

Cycling trousers (a) are essential if you want to sit comfortably. These close-fitting

trousers, at least at the inside, have special padding in the seat. They have no seams

that can press into you and they do not form folds. Cycling trousers are therefore

designed to be worn next to the skin.

Since sporty cycling will soon bring you out in a sweat, a jersey made of synthetic

materials is ideal (b). The fibres themselves do not take up any moisture but instead

wick the sweat away from the skin up to the surface of the materials and thus prevent

you getting cold from the cool wind produced by your speed. On longer tours you

should in addition have suitable protection against the rain. Your BERGAMONT dealer

will be glad to help you choose the right equipment.

DANGER!

Never ride with wide-cut trousers or skirts that might get caught in the spokes,

chain or chainrings. To avoid any such mishap, use suitable clips or straps, if

necessary.

DANGER!

For increased visibility to other road users be sure to wear striking and bright-

coloured clothing!

PEDALS AND SHOES

Cycling shoes (c) should be made of solid material to provide firm support for your

feet. In addition, they should have a stiff sole so that the pedal cannot press through.

The sole should not be too wide in the area of the heels, as the rear stays or the

crank will otherwise get in the way of your pedalling. This will prevent your feet from

assuming a natural position when pedalling and may cause knee pain in the long run.

Your BERGAMONT dealer has a wide range of shoes available and will be pleased to

advise you.

Special cycling shoes are obligatory, if your BERGAMONT bike is equipped with

clipless pedals. With these shoes cleats are fixed to the sole. They give you a firm

connection between shoe and pedal and allow depending on the model an at least

acceptable walking position.
